Ideal ratios typically range from 1:25 to 1:30 (Greens:Browns) for optimal decomposition.
The Science of Composting
Composting is a natural process of recycling organic matter into a rich soil amendment. The key to successful composting lies in maintaining a balanced ratio of nitrogen-rich 'greens' (like food scraps and grass clippings) and carbon-rich 'browns' (like dry leaves and wood chips). This balance ensures proper microbial activity, leading to efficient decomposition and nutrient-rich compost for your garden.
